00:00Good morning, Dougal, said Florence. Morning, said Dougal, tersely. You're rather terse. I feel terse.
00:29In fact, I've never felt terse-er. Why, what's the matter? said Florence. Well, I was woken up this morning by some terrible jangling thing. I feel jangled. I'm never at my best when I'm jangled. I think it was a fire engine or something. No, I don't think it was, Dougal, said Florence.
00:51That's it, that's it, screeched Dougal. Definitely it. An alarm clock, said Florence. Alarm clock, said Dougal. Sounds more like Big Ben gone mad.
01:21What's it saying, hmm? I'm not sure, said Florence. Well, tell it to go and alarm someone else, said Dougal. It's very pretty, said Florence.
01:33Thanks very much, said the clock. But what's the use of being pretty if you can't wake anyone up, hmm? True, said Florence. I'm a failure.
01:44You woke me, said Dougal. Oh, did I? Did I? said the clock. Yes, you did, said Dougal. Oh, good, said the clock.
01:56You see, said Florence. Yes, good. Good? Good? What's good about it? said Dougal.
02:04Now, Dougal, steady. Steady? I'm exhausted. And I shall go and get some sleep. Don't start that again.
02:16Do not start that again or I shall lose my very considerable temper. All right?
02:23I thought I made myself here. Now, now, Dougal.
02:27It's all right for you. You're human. But dogs need their sleep. Good night.
02:36Now, don't worry about him, said Florence. I'll find you someone else to wake up.
02:42Try a snail.
02:45Who? they said.
02:48A-S-N-A-I-L.
02:51Someone calling me.
02:53Someone calling me.
03:00Me, me, me.
03:02Someone calling me.
03:04Good morning, good morning.
03:06Everyone up bright and early?
03:08Oh.
03:10Did I say something?
03:12You're always saying something, great oaf.
03:17You've hurt its feelings.
03:18Look.
03:20I just wanted to wake someone up, said the clock tearfully.
03:25Well, we'd like to help, said Florence.
03:28You speak for yourself, said Dougal.
03:31Oh, I know. I know. That rabbit.
03:36You know someone who needs me, said the clock.
03:38I should say so, said Dougal.
03:41Of course, said Florence.
03:44That rabbit needs an alarm clock the size of a house.
03:48I should think you two very well.
03:51And Dougal went to have some refreshment with the excitement of it all.
04:01Dougal?
04:02Yes, yes, yes.
04:04Now, where's that rabbit?
04:07Florence called Zebedee.
04:09I'm glad you called, said Zebedee, because it's time for bed.
04:18Hoist with my own petard, sighed Florence.
04:21What? said Dougal.
04:23And the clock tried to do what lots of people had tried to do before.
